Isaías 40:5 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 40:5

And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed.
&c.] Christ himself, who is the brightness of his Father's glory, and his own glory, as the glory of the of the only begotten of the Father; the glorious perfections of his nature, seen in the miracles wrought, and in the doctrines taught by him; the glory of the divine Father, in the face or person of Christ; and the glory of his attributes, in the work of salvation by him; all which is most clearly discerned in the glass of the Gospel, or in the ministry of the word, by John, Christ himself, and his apostles: and all flesh shall see it together;
not the Jews only, but Gentiles also; not with their bodily eyes, but with the eyes of their understanding; even the salvation of the Lord, and his glory, as displayed in it, being set forth in the everlasting Gospel to the view of all; see ( Luke 3:7 ) , for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it:
that his glory should be revealed, and be visible to all, and therefore sure and certain; for what he has said he does, and what he has spoken he makes good. The Targum is,

``for by the word of the Lord it is so decreed;''

and therefore shall be fulfilled.

Isaías 40:5 In-Context

3 Una voz proclama:«Preparen en el desiertoun camino para el SEÑOR;enderecen en la estepaun sendero para nuestro Dios.

4 Que se levanten todos los valles,y se allanen todos los montes y colinas;que el terreno escabroso se niveley se alisen las quebradas.

5 Entonces se revelará la gloria del SEÑOR,y la verá toda la humanidad.El SEÑOR mismo lo ha dicho».

6 Una voz dice: «Proclama».«¿Y qué voy a proclamar?», respondo yo.«Que todo mortal es como la hierba,y toda su gloria como la flor del campo.

7 La hierba se seca y la flor se marchita,porque el aliento del SEÑOR sopla sobre ellas.Sin duda, el pueblo es hierba.
